In a remarkable display of commitment to education and empowerment, philanthropist Kehinde Kuma Adekanmi has awarded a full tuition scholarship to Miss Faith Akinwande, a bright and determined student from Okitipupa Local Government Area, Ondo State. The scholarship, which will cover her full tuition for the duration of her 4-year undergraduate degree program, is set to support Faith as she embarks on her academic journey at the Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa.
Faith, who is set to study Computer Science, was one of the beneficiaries of the #KennyKunmaFreeJAMBForm2024 initiative, a program launched by Adekanmi last year to distribute 1,000 free JAMB forms to students across Ikale Land. The philanthropist, known for his unwavering commitment to supporting the education of young Nigerians, met Faith during the distribution event, where she expressed her resolve to excel in the examination.
Following the release of the JAMB results, Faith not only passed but was also granted admission to her desired course of study. As a student with special needs, her achievement has been described as a testament to her resilience and determination. Kehinde Kuma Adekanmi, in an official statement, expressed his pride in Faith’s accomplishments and reiterated his commitment to supporting students in their educational pursuits.
"Faith has shown exceptional dedication and strength in pursuing her academic goals despite the challenges she faces. I am honored to be part of her journey, and I believe she will continue to achieve greatness," Adekanmi remarked. The philanthropist emphasized that this scholarship is just one of the many ways he plans to contribute to the development of education in the region, aligning with his vision for a better future through education.
The scholarship is expected to significantly ease Faith's financial burden, allowing her to focus on her studies and achieve her full potential. This gesture has been widely applauded by members of the community, who view it as a step in the right direction for the advancement of education in the area.
